Drupal actions don't do anything by themselves, yet they're turned on and enabled by default. This small change would make them useful out of the box. Let administrators fire actions manually.

Make actions more useful

I am just flicking through some old core issues, to see if any can be closed. I believe this one can.

Most actions can be run from 'lists' of the entity type they act upon. For example;

  • node actions can be run from admin/content
  • comment actions can be run from admin/content/comment
  • user actions can be run from admin/people

Some actions such as "Update taxonomy term alias" can only be run from the specific taxonomy term edit form. Something like Views Bulk Operations can help make lists like the above pages, to update bulk terms.

With this in mind, I believe the issue can be closed.
